The M-7, aljso known as the “tank killer” I and “The Priest, " was a closely guarded secret until December 28, 1042, when the Army gave its first official approve^ of publica- tion of news concerning this secret i weapon. During the nine months of secrecy , 8,000 Amer- ican Locomotive Company workers saw thousands of these weapons being produced under their eyes, shfi. shipped to destinations then unknown to them. One or these destinations later proved to be the African battlefrontj where General Mont- gomery launched! ki* famous drive ihat has since kept the enemy, on the run.

He is Major Russell Harrjmargren who has been assigned to another and important task elsewhere after having served for more than two years as post public relations officer at Fort Benning. Im- mediately upon, his assignment here. Major (then 1st lieutenant) Hammargren, who had just com- plete^'! a three-month course as an Infantry School!' student officer, began: to press for the realization of a need Which he spotted no sooner, than, n.e had arrived — a post newspaper. That dream reached fruitation the following Septem- ber, lj942. A practical newspaperman of long experience and.ajprofdssor of journalism on leave of absence, Major Hammargren was equipped to give wise counsel in the formulating of editorial policy and in solving knotty problems arising from time to ’time. !.. . The: Major taught us much of value which we shall iong remember He will always occupy a special place in our mental, album, of unforget- table characters, and wherever Army , orders may send hini in tbe trying days to come, we want' him- to know that he carries with him our very best vjishes for continued .success and good luck.

HOWARD BUS LINE INCORPORATED ‘The Bayonet, Thursday, March 23,1944' Hockey Playoffs Underway; Bayonet Gives Lowdown On Forgotten Northern Sport By SGT.BOB KRFLL That ancient and oft-maligned instituted, the hockey play-offs,: came out of hiding Tuesday night for -its annual airing, with the Montreal Canadians, Detroit. Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Blackbawks - kicking . the nubbpr around to the jingle, jan- gle jingle of the customers' coins. In recent years the play-offs have absorbed more than their .ghare of abuse thanks to the silly, albeit, lucrative system -of going through five .months of regular season play merely to eliminate .one team. . Comes the end of the season and the six top teams knock one another’s brains out in an eli- mination affair, the winner receiv- ing the coveted Stanley Cup, em- blematic of the World’s Hotkey Championship, not to mention a few extra dollars. With the draft making inroads on its- talent the league was forced to cut down to xix teams ..this season with the. New York Americans, perennial step-child of the hockey fathers, forced to withdraw. This made the leaguev officials cut the play- off eligibles to four thus lending a semblance of realism to the heretofore meaningless regular season clashes. BRUINS OUT : The two teams that are on the outside -looking in this year are the Boston Bruins and the NeW j York Rangers,. two old stand-bys.; For the Bruins it was their first; crack at playing wallflower .in 14 years. This will be the Rang- ers'second straight year of sitting one out and if anything is indi- cative of the topsy-turvness of the guessed, Patrick and Shore. The gloves were oft and there were * few wild swings which hit ripth- ing but the o2one, and then from nowhere came a wicked right cross and Shore found himself swallowing a mouthful, of nose— his own. Eddie fell to the ice [and Muzzy went sailing into Fjash Hollet, who had a strangle If old on Lester’s other son, Lynn. Leav- ing a trail of his own blood be- hind him, -Shore was helped - off the ice. apparently through [for the evening. Ten minutes later, to the 'amazement of the crowd, despite a broken nose, he was back on the ice with , nothing gave a small piece of tape across jthe [bridge of his battered proboscis. OVERTIME SERIES | These same: two clubs plft op a j series of sudden death overtime 'affairs in 1940 that were strictly [for those with strong tickers. Out I of- this 4-out-of-7 series emerged - ja hero, in the person of a scrawny 'blonde forward, who won for [himself the. nickname of "Sudden- death” Hill, The Bruins won three of their 4 games in over- time and on each occasion it ^vas (Hill who clicked for the winding goal. However, this wasn't [the first time the Rangers had suc- cumbed to the overtime jinx. I In 1838 they tangled with the lowly A merits and the third and final game was the longest over to be played In the Garden. One overtime pe- the Garden. One overtime pe- riod came and went without a score. During the inter- ne-sporting world, the absence of thtee two sextets from the play-, offs is it. • There have been memorable play-off games in ice annals and the Rangers and Brains have provided their share of brass knuckles. When Eddie Shore was playing out his String with the Rossmen a few years back they tangled with the Broadway Blues in the Garden. Shore had been do- ing a grand job of mussing up some of the Lester Patrick’s youthful charges and just about the only member of the Rangers, who could handle Eddie was. Lester’s youngest , non, Muxry, who besides being a [tough nut to crack on the . defense was also the amateur heavyweight champion of Canada. Shore was handing out sixteen different varieties of j elbows, stick butts and what have yon when he cross- ed sticks with young Patrick at | the 8th Avenue and 49th Street end of the Garden ice. Before lonr a Jnicy donny- brook was in progress and out of (the melee two figures could be distinguished In a private honk They were, as you might have; farce «out of the regular r^ce, amassing 38 victories and 7 ties.

This same polka dot effect trims the three quarter sleeves. Another smartly tailored dress has button trim on the bodice and also at the bottom of the skirt side seam hem.

Army, Navy Discharges Fail to Discourage Gl WILLIAM CHAPMAN POINTS TO HONORABLE DISCHARGES William Chapman has honorable discharges from both the Army and Navy— but that olive drab suit he wears these days is strictly GI. Chapman’s- tale of woe began back in November df 1941 when his outfit was' sent to -Tndiantoyvn Gap, Pa., to get/ ready for over- seas. - He had enlisted in the Army in 1937 and waB a corporal and a company ' clerk ip his second en- listment by that time. ^ ’ All - went well with Chapman until' a medical officer took a closer look dt his eyes— something wrong. Whereupon the medical officer said, “No overseas.for you. . “My company commander weht to bat for me,” Chapman rsaid. “He pointed out that I’d qualified with, every weapon the infantry uses, including the rifle, machine gun, mortar, revolver, automatic pistoL and 37 mm anti-tank gun. And that I could see as well with- out glasses; as I could, with them.’ It wasn’t any use, though. His CO was a captgin and the medical officer was ; I with cnly 5 losses for the reebrd total of 83 points. On the rec- ords.
